I don't see the issue. That comparison video posted the left side all look good.
They spend almost as much time polishing games as they do the core development. Most other developers just bung it out when it's pretty much done and patch the big issues post launch.
It also helps that (generally speaking) the first party games have great gameplay where I can forgive a bit of graphical fidelity. I'm not so concerned about how detailed a track is as long as it looks decent while I'm power sliding my way into first place 
They did a great job with the tracks on MK8 and in single play performance is great. If you do get a local 4 player race going then it can get a bit framey, would be nice if they dropped a bit of the detail in that instance to keep frames up.

4 player is a locked 30fps with no frame drops IIRC. 1/2p is 60fps with occasional dropped frames.

Hi, anyone looking to start a new family group and expansion?

So I assume that when the expansion pass expires you would lose access to additional mk tracks?
Yes, and online play.

Ta will just pay the 22 quid to buy it outright I think.

Good to know ta. Will wait for reviews I think. Weirdly excited for sports. Be good to do bowling again with the little one.
Same here, though I'm actually a little disappointed they haven't kept the old style Miis!

I dont really get the attachment to mi's. They just look weird to me. The new island on sports looks nicely fleshed out. Hopefully golf will be decent when it appears.
Had a quick couple of races on mk8 today, not played for a long time and man did i struggle lol best i done was 2nd today, room was full of japs and as always, they were bloody good
Does anyone else lose a bit of skill on this game if they leave it for a while and then go back to it? coz i did struggle today, usually im in top 3/4 every race but today more like 6th to 9th hahaha
Love the game still though, great fun

It’s the shortcuts that I lose the ability to nail every time after a break.
